"Let me tell you the truth, those things are actually right behind your border warehouse, just a wall away. How about that? Didn't expect that?"
"puff!"
"Oh dear, he's already vomiting blood? That won't do, brother. If he knew who betrayed him, wouldn't he have gone straight there?"
"Who is it? At a time like this, why are you still hiding it? Is that really necessary?"
After a long silence, Jian Dan was about to throw a dagger when she heard the person opposite her speak softly.
"Don't you already have someone in mind?"
Two seconds later, the person under the tree swayed, as if they had suffered a great blow, and spat out another mouthful of blood. Their body went limp against the tree, and they chuckled to themselves.
"Oh, I see. I knew it! They were trying to get me to leave quickly. Haha, turns out I was the fool... haha..."
The person on the other side seemed somewhat regretful.
"Brother, you're a real man and a good soldier, but in your next life, you'd better open your eyes wide first."
With a wave of his hand, the person beside him approached with a knife. The person under the tree was weak and powerless to resist. He could only watch helplessly as the knife got closer and closer to him, growing larger and larger in front of him. He closed his eyes in despair. Then, there was a scream and several heavy thuds as something fell to the ground.
"Someone's here! Help! Someone's attacking!"
Simple, somewhat speechless, emerged from behind the tree and went straight to meet him.
The people under the tree opened their eyes as if in a dream, only to see someone nimbly dodging ahead, their sticks swinging mercilessly. The few remaining people screamed in pain, and were quickly beaten into submission.
After checking each one to make sure their limbs were broken and they had no ability to resist or escape, he pulled out the dagger and wiped it clean.
"Is he still awake?"
In a daze, Cheng Chao felt as if a fairy had descended from the heavens and was walking towards him step by step. He was so captivated that he didn't want to blink and held his breath, afraid that if he moved, she would disappear.
"Huh? I can't see it?"
Simply waved his hand in front of him.
"Is this a serious matter? He can't see anymore? That can't be, could there be complications?"
Cheng Chao didn't understand what complications meant; he just looked greedily at the person in front of him. It was so good to be able to see his sister before he died.
Jian Dan wasn't a patient person either, so she just slapped him across the face.
Are you awake?
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Cheng Chao turned his head blankly, raised his head, and asked incredulously to confirm.
"Little sister?"
"You're awake? How badly are you hurt? Can you get up?"
Cheng Chao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Sister? Is it really you? You, what are you doing here?"
He sighed simply, first stuffing a slice of ginseng into his mouth, then taking out some external wound powder from his pocket.
"Hey, let's treat the injury first?"
Cheng Chao was still in a daze. It was like a dream. He was being chased and killed, but before he died, his sister saved him.
Is this a desperate counterattack?
Having not seen anyone for a while, Lin Dongfang and Ling Weidong quietly crept over. They were startled to see the people scattered on the ground, but their surprise only lasted a moment. Seeing that Jian Dan had no injuries, they relaxed.
"What's going on? Should we call the police?"
He glanced at Cheng Chao briefly.
"Can you still move? I'll carry you down, let's go to the hospital first?"
With a ginseng slice in his mouth, Cheng Chao regained some strength. Looking at the people lying haphazardly, he hesitated.
"These people?"
Lin Dongfang then noticed Shi Chengchao, and after a moment's thought, he realized this was no simple matter. He immediately raised his hand.
"I'll go find someone. You guys, why don't you go down the mountain to the hospital first?"
Ling Weidong also spoke up.
"I'll carry them, but is it safe to leave these people here?"
It's understandable that he was worried; after all, we were already close to the edge of the deep mountains, and who knew when wild animals might come along.
Cheng Chao forced himself to sit up, looked around,
"I'm fine, I can still manage."
"Dongfang, go find someone and tell them about the situation. Have them send a car over, and have the military medic come along. Also, cough cough, if you see if Uncle Jian is here, have him come too."
Cheng Chao knew perfectly well that with his injuries, no one could allow him to go again, so the person he trusted most was Jian Wenxiu.
"Forget it, there's no need to ask. It would be better if either the regimental commander or the political commissar could come over."
"Woof woof woof..."
"Woof woof woof..."
Before Lin Dongfang could even move, he heard familiar barking all around him.
"May you have good fortune, happiness, peace, and joy!"
Not only was it a pleasant surprise, but everyone else's eyes lit up with delight.
He was pounced on by several large dogs and forced to take several steps back.
"Haha, Jixiang, stop fooling around, I have a task for you!"
It's truly a godsend! If Lin Dongfang had to rely on his own two legs to get there and back, he wouldn't have made it back until nightfall. Now, with Jixiang, it's much faster. If things go smoothly, the reinforcements will reach the foot of the mountain in less than an hour.
After Jixiang set off, the dogs circled around, especially interested in the human-shaped objects on the ground. Jian Dan didn't care, as long as her own dogs didn't suffer any losses.
Ling Weidong went down to pick up Tan Yajun. Lin Dongfang gave her some basic treatment for her external injuries, but mainly the wound on her chest, which was in a very important location, so he really didn't dare to move it.
Several people sat under the tree waiting, but Jian Dan was still a little uneasy, checking on them every now and then.
Are you sure you're okay?
He was someone who almost died heroically on the spot just now. No matter how much he insists he's fine, they can't believe him. They can only helplessly change the subject.
"Hey sis, do you have anything to eat?"
With a quick slap on my forehead, I realized I'd forgotten.
"Wait a minute, I have water in my basket, they'll bring it back soon,"
"I'll start a fire, but it can only be used to grill meat. Can you eat that, Brother Chao?"
On the garrison side, Cheng Jin and Lin Zhengde were also worried about Cheng Chao's disappearance. As soon as they heard that Cheng Chao's sister's dog had come again, the two of them went out to greet it in person.
This area is right next to the border, and Cheng Chao has never been able to leave this area when he's on a mission. So it wouldn't be surprising if he really appeared in the back mountains of Liujiatun.
The main point is that the appearance of this dog is 90% likely related to his niece.
Moreover, judging from our interactions these past few times, the only time a dog would be sent to deliver a message is when it's urgent.
Lin Dongfang started a fire and roasted both pheasants.
Cheng Chao showed no awareness of being a patient. When Cheng Jin and Lin Zhengde rushed up with their men, he was tearing apart a chicken with both hands, eating it with grease dripping from his mouth. If it weren't for the mottled bloodstains on his body and the layers of cloth wrapped around his thighs, you wouldn't have been able to tell that he was an injured person.
Three dogs sat nearby, staring at him menacingly.
Cheng Jin stared in disbelief, pointing at him and asking,
"Is this what you mean by seriously injured and critically ill?"
